Yes, you are reading correctly – my Mum and I got another Mac computer. Yes, we are a little crazy for these computers 🙂 My Mum was always complaining about her Windows Notebook – although it was just one and a half year old it made nothing but problems. All of a sudden she couldn’t get into the Internet anymore or her Firefox browser was gone. It seemed to be a Monday Computer (we say so here for technical stuff which makes nothing but problems – it must have been produced on a Monday morning by a sleepy technican).

Because of that and because I need a reliable computer when I’m on a trip with my husband or just visiting a friend we thought that we could share a computer. So it has arrived now – our baby Mac – actually I haven’t worked on it so far just because my Mum drastically improved her computer skills in just one week. So it seems she had definitely no problem changing from one system to the other – so I think the less computer savy you are the less problems you have changing your operating system.

Macbook Pro 15.4 inch

So we now have a 15 inch small Macbook Pro with an i5 processor (yes, it is super fast) and a 320 GB harddrive. Yes, it was expensive but absolutely worth. I have one problem with the little Mac – the screen is reflecting and that makes it hard to look at the screen on some circumstances. But you can also get it with an anti-glare screen which will make it a little more expensive. The one you can get on [easyazon-link asin=”B007471D2Q” locale=”us”]Macbook Pro[/easyazon-link] also has a 500 GB Harddrive.

You get the Macbook Pro for a much better price at Amazon with and without the reflecting screen (Apple is more expensive in this case). The reflecting screen is not too bad – it’s just a little disturbing when the sun is shining into your room and you have it in your back. If you do not work in the sun (or outside) anyway – well, then no need to spend that extra money on the anti-glare screen for the MacBook Pro.

You can use this MacBook Pro computer for image editing as well as for anything processor intensive – it has no problem to work with memory intensive programs, you can open several programs at once and it just runs smoothly as every Mac does.

I made two additional purchases though. I’ve bought the [easyazon-link asin=”B004WITQ9C” locale=”us”]Magic Mouse[/easyazon-link] because I find it really hard to work properly with the [easyazon-link asin=”B0093H4WT6″ locale=”us”]Trackpad[/easyazon-link] and I’ve purchased a case to prevent the computer from scratches. Both is not necessary but makes life easier 🙂

If you are looking for a new computer – this MacBook Pro is definitely a great choice!
